The time I applied a week later, I had had the previous account open for about 11 and half months. I made it a point to charge frequently on these accounts.
Before with my US card I'd apply every three months and every other one would get denied. It didn't matter because Barclay is the only one who pulls TU and my score can easily brush off the punishment. Maybe I'll give it a try wih this card too.
